Abstract
Aside from specialized expert communities such as the recently launched "Encyclopedia of Life" or the "Encyclopedia of Earth", projects like Citizendium, WikiEducator, or Wikia's family of wikis compete with or complement the knowledge offered by Wikimedia projects. How can these communities share knowledge more effectively? This talk will give an overview of some of the technological and legal challenges.
